Big Boi Rap Quotes

Yoooo! Here are some Big Boi quotes for all ya’ll. There aren’t too many quotes floating around out there for Big Boi, you’d think there’d be more? Some bonuses for ya’ll (since OutKast is one of my favorite groups out there):

The first ~20 tracks are classic Big Boi tracks, while a few of the later tracks sound like tracks that didn’t make the cut on Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty (read: unreleased Big Boi tracks).

And here’s the video for “Follow Us” with Vonnegutt:

One of my buddies, let’s call him Montizzle, lives in Savannah (SEA PORT!) and was at the club when they filmed the video. He found out about it through the buzz in Savannah about Big Boi’s new album and also since he frequents The Jinx (where it was filmed) every Thursday night to dance. He thought they would be filming the video earlier in the night, but when he got to the club around ten, they were getting set up for the video. They held everyone outside until Big Boi got there at 11ish. The scene was a lot of Savannah SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) kids, wasn’t too much of a Hip-Hop vibe there. When Big Boi and Vonnegutt had both arrived, they started playing the song… then again… then again ’til they got all the footage they needed for the video. When Montizzle heard the beat drop, he knew the album would be hot. The SCAD kids were even bouncing up and down for a Big Boi song!

[Referring to his successful Atlanta-based dog breeding business, Big Boi explained the name of the label:] My ‘Purple Ribbon’ dogs have a strong blood line that goes back three generations. I want to put out potent funk music. Purple Ribbon is gonna be so strong you can smell it. … This is a Big Boi thang, not an OutKast thang. I’m doing films, but music is my first love.
-Big Boi quote

It’s cool to have somebody that you know sitting in a power position. … He can make things happen in a timely fashion just by pushing buttons and that’s what I’ve been waiting for.
-Big Boi

We never try and reinvent the past. We try to look forward to what’s going on… We don’t have a set plan – you might have ideas, or a different set pieces you might use to put inside your puzzle – but it’s like you always have to look forward to what’s beyond from where you just came from.
-Big Boi

I’m going to try to bring the whole family back together like Voltron
